If I could bring any books with me to a new society besides The Ligthning Thief, I would take Dragonfire. It was a very good book. It was very similar to the Percy Jackson books, since it is in the fantasy genre. It is also fast paced like the other, and very heartfelt since it touches on alot of environmental issues, such as the melting of the Polar Ice Caps. This is mainly focused on in the second book, Icefire, but in the first one, David is a tenant at Elizabeth Pennykettle's home, and "Liz's" daughter is interested in squirrels, and she takes care of the ones in her town, Scrubbley. SPOILER ALERT! To see, highlight the following words ==>: {In the end, one of the squirrels dies. }
The story focuses mainly on the Pennykettle tradition, making clay dragons. These dragons come to life in the Pennykettle house, with the help of a Firestar, which is in each of the clay dragons. If the dragon is not properly taken care of, it will shed its fire tear, and its aura will die down. the dragon will permanently become a clay dragon. Elizabeth made a dragon for David, and he named it Gadzooks. It had a notebook and a pencil, and he sent messages to David through his thoughts and the notepad. I really enjoyed this book, and my dad even read it and enjoyed it. The three books in the series are Dragonfire, Icefire, Fire Star, and The Fire Eternal. I only own three of them, but I got the third one, Fire Star, from the library. The rest I bought through Scholastic Book Clubs. And if you read the series and enjoy it, I suggest reading Stoneheart. It's like a combination of Dragonfire and The Lightning Thief.
